Management tips from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" Excerpts from a July 1, 2013 Medium.com "blog post":https://medium.com/better-humans/3d01c0cf0a10 q. If you plan to read only one book on management, forget all of the recently published bestsellers and read Sun Tzu - The Art of War. To tease the ones who haven’t read this masterpiece, and motivate the rest to get back to it when in doubt about something, I’ve prepare a few management tips and tricks from the ancient Chinese general q.. # The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. # Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak. # Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win. # All warfare is based on deception. # Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. # A leader leads by example, not by force. # Opportunities multiply as they are seized. # Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. # When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil. When full, starve them. When settled, make them move. # Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across. #business #management #books
